The Beat Movement in literature was roughly from the 1950s through the mid 1970s. It wasn't exclusively an American phenomenon, but most of its artists & writers were based in either San Francisco or New York.
Utah State University has an amazing archive of Beat broadsides, and currently there's an exhibition down in Newark at UD titled Beat Visions and the Counter Culture. Anybody up for a roadtrip? I can drive the Mystery Machine (a/k/a the DCAD van).
